100 Huntley Street, the flagship television program of Crossroads Christian Communications, was the first daily Christian television program in Canada. Started in 1977 by Crossroads founder Rev. David Mainse, 100 Huntley Street continues to bring the message of Jesus Christ to millions of Canadians from coast to coast. Hosted by Ron Mainse and Rhonda Glenn, 100 Huntley Street presents life-changing stories, inspirational music, Biblical teaching and two-way communication in a resourceful and entertaining one-hour telecast.

A team of television journalists report from across the nation, producing relevant and compelling segments documenting how the Gospel is making a difference in the fabric of our culture. Reynold and Kathy Mainse host one day a week with an emphasis on "faith at work" through our Crossroads missions endeavours around the world and here at home. 100 Huntley Street is "Life-Changing Television," created by a dedicated production team of individuals who are committed to sharing the love of Christ to all people.


Crossroads Missions
Since 1982, Crossroads has been involved in Emergency Response & Development. Through Crossroads, caring Canadians have responded to those suffering the aftermath of destruction, death and psychological trauma - typically caused by natural disasters, wars, and extreme poverty in the developing world.

Reynold and Kathy Mainse are excited to lead Crossroads Missions into the future. With great passion, they desire to encourage those of us in the developed world to embrace the hurting with God's love and alleviate the suffering that many are experiencing in the most devastated countries on earth.

Crossroads' National Ministry Centre provides coast-to-coast spiritual support. The ministry prayer lines provide two-way communication for the viewers of 100 Huntley Street and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
